Overview[]
eLaboratory is
| “ | [t]he electronic delivery of laboratory results to practices so that such data may be integrated into electronic patient records in full EHR-S, or used by a dedicated application to view structured, context-rich, and/or longitudinal laboratory results on a patient. eLaboratory includes closing the orders loop, documenting the review of results by clinicians, and documenting that the results have been communicated to the patient. The full benefits of eLaboratory are not achieved until the results are used as input into clinical decision support systems (CDSS).[1] | ” |
